(More customer reviews)After reading about "japanese hair straightening" and thermal reconditioning for quite some time, I was anxious to try a do-it-yourself approach. I was not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a salon experience so I opted to try this kit, which can also be found at your local beauty supply store. The box that I received was sun-faded and dusty on top; I could tell that this box had been sitting around on the shelf for a while. However, there was no expiration date on the package, so I proceeded to try this kit with the help of a friend. BE SURE to have a friend assist you; there is no way I would recommend trying this by yourself. It took about 6 hours from start to finish. (Note: you will need a tinting brush to apply this kit.)
My friend and I followed the instructions as closely as possible. (It is helpful to go to this company's website to view very helpful videos of the strand test.) The first step, the relaxer, was supposed to take 5-30 minutes to complete. However, my friend did strand test after strand test and the hair just would not process. I sat with the relaxer on my hair for two hours, and my hair never did fully process. This was probably because the product was old, as I suspected. (This is a very smelly process, just so you know! You will also want to wear gloves even though the box, oddly, does not include any.) However we proceeded anyway and continued to follow the instructions carefully. It was difficult to observe the final result, because we did a second flat ironing session after I rinsed out the neutralizer. I could not tell how the texture of my hair had really been changed until I waited 48 hours to wash and restyle my hair.
The final result was that this kit straightened my naturally wavy, thick, and somewhat "fluffy" hair a little bit. It smoothed out many of the waves, and made certain sections, particularly the ends straighter. However because I used a product that was most likely past its prime, my hair was definitely not pin straight and to get the results I want I still need to blowdry my hair and use a flat iron. I recommend giving this product a try if you're looking for an affordable thermal relaxing option, but make sure you get a fresh product, and follow the instructions carefully.
